If you love classic songs from the 70s’, we bet you would love this movie as well. A group of inter-galactic outcasts trying to prevent a Titan from getting his hands on the most powerful stones in the Universe. All that while listening to ’70s Lite-FM tunes and playing “You can’t see me”.
Peter Quill – the Star Lord who was kidnapped by aliens at a very young age, is being hunted down by a genocidal villain – Ronan the Accuser. Scrambling to salvage anything of value for resale, the Star Lord discovers a mysterious orb desired by many in the galaxy of powerful foes. Ronan hunts down the Star Lord who has formed an alliance with a bunch of other misfits of the Galaxy; Thanos’ adopted daughter, Gamora; the former criminal, Drax the Destroyer; the genetically enhanced creature, Rocket Raccoon, and the plant-like organism, Groot, to stop this powerful enemy.
You can see the chemistry between these misfits fighting it all out together which you can’t help but admire. And of course, we can’t forget the iconic Van Diesel’s “I am Groot” moment. Colorful, fun, purpose-built for grown-up lovers of kitsch ’80s science-fiction, you won’t be disappointed.
